Miss Couts was a 1969 graduate of Pampa High School, where she was a member of the FHA. She owned and operated Charlet's Cafe in Groom for several years and was a member of First United Methodist Church in Groom.

Survivors include five brothers, John Couts, Joe Couts, Clint Couts and Charley Couts, all of Pampa, and Bill Couts of Caldwell; three sisters, Linda Couts and Marilyn Couts Bridges, both of Dayton, and Janneice Couts Pool of Eunice, N.M.

Charlet was a unique individual and I feel sad I did not take the time to understand her better. Her life at home was very different than most of ours and she probably could have taught us all a lot about life, if we had onlypayed attention. She brings to mind a person who had a lot of responsibility that we could not comprehend at that time in our lives, with all the siblings she had. When I think back about Charlet, I also think of the lady from England's American Idol, whom I am sure you have allheard of by now.....the one with the beautiful voice, I can't help but wonder what talents we might have enjoyedof Charlet's, I do know she was a good cook and she loved.I hope God has blessed you well dear Charlet, we should have loved you better.Lalla Mae

I remember in particular Charlet was in my homeec class. I always tried to be nice to her and found that she had a great sense of humor. I was glad to learn from her obit that she owned a restaurant in Groom before her death last year.

I remember Charlet very well. She did have a great sense of humor. We talked a lot in jumior high. She looked great at the 15th class reunion! She was so happy about having her own business!!! I'm glad you found her obit.I will always miss her beautiful smile!

Charlotte and I were in FHA together at PHS and I thought she was so sweet and very friendly when you got to know her. I knew about her restaurant in Groom, I married a Groom boy and Charlotte and I talked alot when we got to go back. Actually, there is a song written about her and her restaurant, I wish I could remember what she told me it was.
